Evaluation of different metrics as an index for the assessment of arterial stiffness
Elevated intravascular pressure is a contributing factor to increased arterial stiffness, and is a risk factor for cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Assessment of arterial stiffness is of importance in evaluating cardiovascular risk. Pulse wave velocity (PWV) has been broadly used in the asses...
